Important Book & Ebook References

This collection includes sources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias and handbooks to help find brief explanations and general information about terms and concepts in mechanical engineering. Includes both hardcopy (paper) and electronic books.

This expanded second edition of our reference book contains over 100 new pages, including extensive coverage of Section VIII of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code. Divided into 22 sections, this pocket-sized volume is a "quick reference" of up-to-date engineering data and rules.

Since the first edition of this comprehensive handbook was published ten years ago, many changes have taken place in engineering and related technologies. Now, this best-selling reference has been updated for the 21st century, providing complete coverage of classic engineering issues as well as groundbreaking new subject areas. Coverage of traditional topics has been updated, including sections on thermodynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, materials, controls, energy conversion, manufacturing and design, robotics, environmental engineering, economics and project management, patent law, and transportation. Updates to these sections include new references and information on computer technology related to the topics. This edition also includes coverage of new topics such as nanotechnology, MEMS, electronic packaging, global climate change, electric and hybrid vehicles, and bioengineering.

This book serves the needs of students and teachers as well as professional workers in engineering who use mathematics. Students and professionals alike will find this book a valuable supplement to standard textbooks, a source for review, and a handy reference for many years.

* Covers mathematics formulas needed for Industrial and Mechanical Engineering
* Quick and easy to use reference and study
* Includes practical examples and figures to help quickly understand concepts

The second edition of this popular book on practical mathematics for engineers includes new and expanded chapters on perturbation methods and theory. This is a book about linear partial differential equations that are common in engineering and the physical sciences. It will be useful to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in all engineering fields as well as students of physics, chemistry, geophysics and other physical sciences and professional engineers who wish to learn about how advanced mathematics can be used in their professions. The reader will learn about applications to heat transfer, fluid flow and mechanical vibrations. The book is written in such a way that solution methods and application to physical problems are emphasized. There are many examples presented in detail and fully explained in their relation to the real world. References to suggested further reading are included. The topics that are covered include classical separation of variables and orthogonal functions, Laplace transforms, complex variables and Sturm-Liouville transforms. This second edition includes two new and revised chapters on perturbation methods, and singular perturbation theory of differential equations.

This handbook has been prepared to meet the need of an up-to-date authoritative, yet concise compilation of the salient terms associated with the broad field of Mechanical Engineering. This handbook is intended to serve a twofold purpose.

First, it concentrates on and presents a brief description of the most important currently used terms. It will give the reader a true and full understanding and background of the meaning of the words that sooner or later will be needed in any occupation or trade.

Second, the book is available as in the general ready reference for the students and engineers of various courses and fields pertaining to Mechanical Engineering. It provides, in one convenient source, the brief explanations scattered in various text books, reference books handbooks and journals.
